Imagine that you came home tomorrow and found a stranger living in your home. Would you pay $148 to have him removed, or would you instead just legally adopt him and give him the run of the place to save the $148? The Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank in Washington, D.C., thinks the practical thing to do would be adopt the undocumented family member that broke into your home.
At least, that is what I can extrapolate from the report they released last week purporting to document the true cost of deporting rather than amnestying-- the 10 million illegal aliens that have smuggled themselves into our homeland over the past two decades. According to the study, which was dutifully reported by the Washington Post and others, it would cost the Federal Government $41 billion per year over the next five years to take the draconian step of actually enforcing our immigration laws.
Lets pretend, for just a moment, that the ghost of the bloody Greek King Dracon is not laughing hysterically at the idea that being deported home in an air-conditioned bus is now considered draconian. And while were in fantasyland, let us also pretend that the $41 billion per year figure is even remotely accurate. The Federal Government has an annual budget of $2.34 trillion per year. Our Gross Domestic Product is a staggering $12 trillion per year. $41 billion would be just 1.7% of the Federal budget, and a miniscule 0.34% of our GDP.

You don't have to round them up, just call police, tag 'em, buy a bus ticket COD on JAIL BUS to anywhere in Mexico out of USA. One AT A TIME as you meet them, like criminals they are. or give them $50 and escort 20 miles accross Mexican border, hand to Mexican Police.

Deport illegals the same way they came here - one at a time. I like that!

"The three leading candidates in Mexico's July 2 presidential election all agree on one point: In a nation where two-thirds of the 103 million people are under 30, the youth vote is critical" dated April 2, 2006 (will post author later).
If we have 10 million illegal mexicans in the US, and there are only 103 million Mexicans, total,then US has 9 million more mexicans than the country of Mexico has today and 2/3 of them are under 30 years old. It appears if these numbers are true, that US is supporting the country of Mexico. Please somebody, check these numbers. Could this really be true. I was reading about the Mexican election. And while doing this research, please someone tell me reason Mexico is not sending troups to help in Iraq? Maybe the mexicans are coming here illegal to avoid the draft in their own country. Is it possible that Mexico will soon be absorbed as a state of US?? Do not understand Bush's holding back on issues that involve other nations owning and outsourcing with such a vengeance.
Is it possible that we are heading toward a country that no American will be proud of Sooner THAN We Think??

The three leading candidates in Mexico's July 2 presidential election all agree on one point: In a nation where two-thirds of the 103 million people are under 30, the youth vote is critical.
It tipped the balance in the last presidential election in 2000, when nearly 60 percent of 18-30 year olds who voted picked Vicente Fox, whose victory ended seven decades of one-party rule.
In July, these voters will decide if they want to maintain the pro-business line of Fox's National Action Party, turn to the leftist vision of Mexico City Mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, or return to the centrist Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which ran the country for most of the past century.

How about "Sponsor a Deportation" where people could toss in $150 for each one. You'd get a certificate and a photo of your sponsoree being dropped of in Mexico, too.
Illegal aliens will deport themselves, if we enforce the laws against employing them, deny them social services, education, bank accounts and home loans.
Illegal aliens will have no choice but to go home all by themselves.
The fact that we refuse to do that only leads me to believe that this is ONLY ABOUT MONEY.
I would pay double and triple $148 to get the 12-20 million leeches OUT OF HERE!
This propaganda that all the politicians were spreading on Sunday's talk shows were sickening, do they think we are all stupid as they are?
The Gospel of can't deport crowd on a Sunday, BS!
I don't want them to assimilate Sen Graham! I don't want them to have citizenship in 11years, I want them all out of here and now!!
I want every employer and every private citizen who employs them to be made to pay a huge fine PLUS back taxes.And before they are deported make them pay fines and back taxes.
They are overcrowding schools and hospitals.
They are depressing wages to the point that this country will soon be a third world country.
Why can't Washington see what is happening? Anything less than getting them and their families out of here is irresponsible and unfair.

On Lou Dobbs special the absorbing of mexico into the US was explained in detail, thanks to Bush and Fox last year and their agreement, and it was quite an eyeopener.
The leave the mexicans here crowd obviously do not care about America. The leave the mexicans here crowd are responsible for the overcrowding of schools which by the way the ungrateful anchorbrats showed that they hate all of us by waving their damn mexican flags in our faces, and with the help of the politicians who are paid by all of us
spit in our faces.
Stop anchorbratcrap, deport the criminals along with the politicians who want them here who whine we can't deport over 12-20 million, than you get the h*ll out of this country since you appear to care so little for it.
That is why after you kick them out you lock your doors and windows.
Take the money out of the social security benefits slated to head south of the border.
I lived in California until a year and a half ago.
Financial problems caused me to leave because a friend of mine had a job for me in Pittsburgh, and I'm lousy at finding jobs on my own.
Unless things have deteriorated rapidly in the last year and a half, I loved living in LA and would enjoy returning if I had a reasonably lucerative job there. Unfortunately, house prices have increased substantially since I sold my house there and moved :-(.
But here's an example of the peculiar phenomenon that makes you not credible in my eyes. If I had a son, he might well be high on dope here. Everyone I know here is a heavy smoker and drinker and there's no help from illegals at all.
It's today's American way to get high and drink to excess. Blaming that on illegals is ridiculous.
It undermines the credibility of all your other arguments. People who hate illegals seem to blame EVERYTHING on illegals, and guess what? For a lot of problems, including drunk kids, they should look in the mirror and stop trying to blame their own problems on other people.
Doing that is the path to solving them. When you blame things on illegals, you're throwing up your hands and saying there's no solution.
What makes America great is that Americans always try to solve problems on their own. Is that America dead?
If so, I think it's the fault of individual Americans, not illegals or anyone else.

I don't care, just do it, it will save millions later on.
